British English in windows XP

I had to spend an hour a week on esperanto at school. Lucky cooler head =
prevailed.

The European Union commissioners have announced that an
agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language
for European communications, rather than German, which was the other
possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a
5-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for
short).

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly,
sivil
servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be
replased
with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan =
have
one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced by f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the
horible

mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" =
by
"z" and "w" by "v".

During yer 5, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou",
and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze

Didn't this thread (I've long since discarded most of it) start with British
English spelling in XP? Canadian English spelling is the same and is
available in settings. Maybe I should have read all the posts.

Canadians may spell properly but they sure can't talk properly. But all =

OK David, I speak Canglais OK? I was born in Britain. The programmes
themselves will always have US English but at least one can stop the damn
spellchecker from correcting every non American spelling.
Loved that story of what is happening to the "Euro" English!

Long story David, but briefly I did think of going to Australia in my late
teens...then University got in the way. I ended up working for Air Canada
and was transferred to Toronto in '72. It's not bad here, we get scorching
summers usually and the winters aren't as bad as my home town, Sunderland,
England.
Liked the links.
I have friends in Ettalong Beach...hope to visit before I drop dead of
whatever.

Great letter David...regarding duh henglish: I quit ****ing around with
Canadian english and set my computer for American english, time and date
format and the whole ball of wax. It saves a whole pile of headaches
with programs like Works, Word, etc., etc. I KNOW that I am Canadian BUT
for Microsoft's sake, I will pretend to be American.

Actually, it is not that great a problem. My folks both came from the
States many moons ago, so I am bilingual. Throw in a bit of British
english, and I could be trilingual.

Have a hassle-free day.

I had to spend an hour a week on esperanto at school. Lucky cooler head
prevailed.

The European Union commissioners have announced that an
agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language
for European communications, rather than German, which was the other
possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a
5-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for
short).

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly,
sivil
servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be
replased
with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan
have
one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced by f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the
horible

mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
by
"z" and "w" by "v".

During yer 5, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou",
and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze

It will solve the language problems of the world, so it was
claimed. Didn't work.
